Gene study shows human skin tone has varied for 900,000 years
An analysis of genetic variation and skin pigmentation suggests that some particularly dark skin tones evolved relatively recently from paler genetic variants

"Skin tone has varied greatly among humans for at least the last 900,000 years. So concludes an analysis of the genetic variants associated with skin pigmentation in people from several regions of Africa. The latest findings suggest that some particularly dark skin tones evolved relatively recently from paler genetic variants, underlining how deeply flawed the racist concept of people with whiter skin being “more advanced” really is."
Jfl their original argument was that divergent human evolution was too recent to make any difference and now that genetic studies are showing the races to be millions of years old they've done a total face heel turn and are now switching over to a completely different form of reasoning/mental gymnastics.
